“Pa!” My left face hurt.
“I look fine?! Nanxing, are you blind? Is this what you call fine? Am I fine? Can’t you see the wound on my face? Can’t you hear that my voice is no longer working?” Jing Ning roared.
I closed my eyes and couldn’t help but sigh in my heart.
For the first time in my life, I felt that the slap I received wasn’t wrong at all. Jing Ning’s complaint wasn’t wrong at all.
I did say the wrong thing.
“I’m sorry. I said something wrong.” A woman should learn from his mistakes.
Jing Ning stared at me without saying a word.
I looked at him calmly as well. I didn’t know what to say. What else could I say?
“Nanxing, I heard that your life has been particularly interesting,” he said calmly.
I looked at him. I moved my shoulders. “If you hadn’t tied me up, I would have given you a slap as well. That’s interesting, right? Do you know how many times I’ve escaped death? You can’t even imagine the injuries and suffering I’ve suffered, do you know that?”
If this could resonate with him more than the suffering of life, then it would be very easy.
My mind spun rapidly, and I had already sized up the back kitchen warehouse from the corner of my eye. In short, there was no way out.
There was only one door in this room, and it should lead to the kitchen in front. I could faintly hear the sounds of the kitchen being busy outside, so I was afraid that no one would notice this place.
Jing Ning looked at me with a somewhat infatuated gaze. “Then, do you regret it?”
Regret what? I looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“Tell me. Back then, if you honestly married me and became the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jing family, you wouldn’t have so many things to worry about. I should have already become the heir of the Jing family. You would live in luxury and continue to live your life in a wealthy family. In your family, you’re just a doormat. However, if you marry me, no one in the Jing family will bully you. Your life will be very comfortable and happy. Isn’t that good?” Jing Ning’s tone was strange. Even though his voice was unpleasant, it was obvious that he felt pity and reproach.
It was obvious that he was not in his right mind.
“Jing Ning, have you lost your memory? If I married you, I would watch you throw yourself into my cousin’s arms. At the same time, you would pursue other women and bring them into your home. Do you think that I would live a comfortable and happy life?
“Don’t tell me that your sister, who’s the best in the world, and your greedy mother will seek justice for me? It would be good enough if they don’t kick me out, okay? Wake up. I won’t stop you if you want to reminisce about the past, but if you want to fantasize about the past, then forget it.” I rolled my eyes at him in disdain.
Jing Ning reached out to touch my head. I instinctively tilted my head, causing his hand to miss. We gritted his teeth and said, “You’re just not sensible! You’ve never been sensible since you were young. Which rich and powerful woman wouldn’t like that? The Jing family will only let you live a better life than others. I’m your best choice!
“Just like back in the cave. If you had stood on our side from the start, how could you have been injured? Nanxing, why can’t you understand? My seventh uncle, no one will have a good ending if they follow him. I’m helping you! Helping You!”
I didn’t understand what was wrong with Jing Ning.
I sized him up and felt that he might have suffered some kind of stimulation and lost his mind.
